Hi David,

Sean, with respect to Amy's blog. Great.Wouldn't some
sort of list membership provide Amy with more
feedback? eg we belong to this list and someone is
bound to comment on most things we say! There are
yahoo groups etc on most interests. I suppose you lose
the sense of ownership that a blog provides. Maybe Amy
could do both- join a list -email group and refer
people she gets on with on it to her blog? of course
there are e-safety issues, but the school could help
there. her online community wouln't have to be local.
Young people that I know are more into Face book than
blogs...
just an idea
